Because the truth is prior to the 2014 coup a majority of Ukrainian's took pride in their Russian roots and 80% of Ukrainians spoke Russian on a daily basis. .
While only an estimated 20% of Ukrainian's adhered to a Nazi/Whiite Supremacist Ideology.... The very factions that Obama, Biden and Nuland used to initiate the coup of 2014..
Putin and Russia know that Zelensky at the beginning of this conflict allowed most pro-western Ukrainian's to leave including men even while stating and enacting that every able bodied man aged 18 to 60 are forbidden to leave and must fight .or be considered traitors.and imprisoned or executed.
so in essence Putin knows that Zelensky is in essence ethnically and politically cleansing pro-Russian males by forcing them to fight Russian troops.
So, Putin is only using as much force as is necessary to keep the Ukrainian's at bay without having to kill them all ....
Well, why would Zelensky have to enact laws regarding desertion that even the courts cannot overturn?Sumela » 31 May 2023, 11:03 am » wrote: ↑ Well, that is an interesting take on the makeup of the Uke military
that I have not heard before. Sounds reasonable.
The other issue that bothers some is why Russia has not blown the 8-10
bridges over the Dnieper River where Ukes transport men and weaponry
from east to the various front. Russia has the capability to level the bridges.
Appears the strategy is let Ukes continue to bring *** and materials into death traps.
War of attrition I guess. Russia seems very patient
And as for the bridges ...it seems they already have ....Sumela » 31 May 2023, 11:03 am » wrote: ↑ Well, that is an interesting take on the makeup of the Uke military

here is some insight....
The Dnipro River Poses A Large Challenge For The Ukrainian Counter-Offensive
Last week, the Russian military decided to abandon the city of Kherson and retreat to the east bank of the Dnipro River. As part of the operation, they destroyed or damaged every major river crossing including the Antonivsky Bridge, the Darivka Bridge, and the Nova Kakhovka dam. The Russian forces have also established a multi-tier defense on the east banks of the Dnipro River. Although the Russians gave up a strategic city, they have effectively stalled the Ukrainian counter-offensive. For the counter-offensive to continue, the Ukrainian military must now conduct a wet-gap crossing, a difficult military maneuver that involves bridging a river. Indeed, the Russian military lost a full Battalion Tactical Group in a failed wet-gap crossing across the Siverskyi Donets River earlier this year.

There are actual rules of war that say that attacking civilians is a war crime.
Babies do not elect politicians, people that vote AGAINST the tyrants are not guilty of him being in power.
You are a MORON, incapable of rational thought.
